German information

Wedding tradition-

The German nation is a hardworking, down-to-earth and down-to-earth people, and these characteristics can also be clearly reflected in their wedding customs.

The young man pursued his aunt and took a birch with him.

Germans choose their spouses in a unique way. In Bonn, a young man fell in love with a girl, so that he could put a birch tree in front of the girl's house on April 30 or May/KLOC-0. If a girl has a crush on a young man, she will put the birch tree in the living room at home. When the young man learned this, he immediately gave the girl a gem ring. The girl accepted the ring and kissed the young man to show her gratitude and accept his proposal. When the two sides were in love and inseparable, they gave each other silver rings to show their engagement. When the wedding is held, the two sides give each other gold rings, indicating that feelings will always be as pure as gold.

Located in the southwest of Berlin, there is a small town called Hitchobeck, which is called "Chess Town" because it loves chess games. In this place, people respect their chess skills very much. Young boys always study chess hard and try their best to improve their chess skills in order to win the favor of girls. The young man wanted to pursue a girl, so he sent her a message, hoping to play chess with her father. If a girl has a crush on a young man, she will make an appointment to invite him to her house. The girl's whole family was watching the competition between Xiaoyi and the future "Tai Shan Ye". The young man used his eighteen martial arts, and "Master Taishan" took it seriously. After a contest, the young man won, and "Lord Taishan" not only won't be angry, but congratulated him. Therefore, the gang will be treated well by the girl's family, thus completing the courtship.

40 days in the matchmaking hotel, unmarried men and women came together.

On waterfall island, there is a luxury hotel for unmarried men and women. Its purpose is to provide contact opportunities for those who are ashamed to get married. Those who register in the hotel must have the conditions of honesty, integrity and solitude, and stay for no more than 40 days. During this period, the hotel staff used various opportunities to let men and women get in touch and get to know each other. Residents can also call strangers for courtship through the dedicated telephone in the room to avoid the situation that face-to-face courtship is rejected. Many people can get married if they live here.

Of course, the shortcomings of girls taking wedding photos have not been exposed.

Movie mate selection is very popular with German women. Some girls have difficulty in solving marriage problems for various reasons, so they spend money to make a marriage film. Under the careful arrangement of the director and photographer, the girl's advantages and talents in cooking, sewing, housing, appearance and figure are vividly displayed on the screen. Even an ordinary woman will become a beautiful and lovely girl on the screen. As for the girl's shortcomings, only her husband knows after marriage.

Like other European countries, most young men and women in Germany hold weddings in churches and at home. The man pays for the church, and the list of guests attending the wedding is mostly drawn up by the bride's parents. However, in many cases, the parents of the bride will always discuss with the parents of the groom, and each will propose half of the guest names to avoid unpleasant things at the festive moment. In a general wedding, the guest list usually includes family members of two families, friends of both parents and friends of the bride and groom, and is drawn up in roughly equal proportion.

In some parts of Germany, some ancient wedding customs are still followed, such as the "Putaban" ceremony popular in Bonn before marriage.

Breaking bowls and bowls for good luck will make the wedding night restless.

In a solemn and festive atmosphere, the groom in a formal dress and the bride in a white wedding dress walked hand in hand into the wedding scene under the escort of the bridesmaid. The guests congratulate the newlyweds, and the bride and groom always thank the guests. Suddenly, the sound of "Tintin Mao Mao" breaking plates and bowls sounded and lasted for a long time, just like firecrackers on New Year's Eve in China. It turns out that according to local traditional customs, a ceremony to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new is held before the wedding. The guests invited to the wedding each brought a few broken bowls, plates, plates, bottles and the like. At the ceremony, people rushed to smash plates and bottles, one after another, and the noise was endless. The garbage brought by the guests was thrown all over the floor. Giggling, the bride's parents swept these scraps of paper into a pile, put them in an old tin suitcase and lit them in the middle of the yard. Everyone was singing and dancing and cheering. In China's traditional concept, it is forbidden to throw things on holidays, but the German traditional concept is just the opposite. They think that slapping hard can help newlyweds get rid of their past troubles and usher in a sweet start. On the long road of life, the couple can always maintain a warm love, stay together for life and grow old together. More interestingly, the newlyweds can't enjoy the quiet night of their first marriage, but they pay close attention to what is going on around them. Every once in a while, someone breaks a piece of porcelain nearby. When the newlyweds hear this, they must immediately smash an object to respond. It seems that the other party is smashing an item to congratulate them, and they are smashing an item to thank them.

German traditional dress-

The national characteristics of Germans are not obvious in clothing. Only in a few areas, the residents there still retain some unique local clothing styles. For example, in Bavaria, men there wear a small felt hat with feathers, leather pants, suspenders, stockings and suede shoes, and their coats are mostly black and green without lapels. Women in Bavaria are mainly skirts, with open neck and waist, long sleeves and short sleeves, lace neckline and cuffs, mainly white. Skirts are similar to aprons in style to show the temperament of professional women. Some skirts are bright, some are simple and elegant, and some are deep and solemn. The skirt is decorated with embroidery and flower picking, and white stockings are added to the legs. Traditional women often wear hats, and the styles of hats are varied. Some women simply put flowers in garlands on their heads, which are very delicate and charming. This national costume of Bavaria is rarely worn by people in other areas except remote mountain villages. As a precious national heritage, it is carefully treasured and can only be put on during festivals, festive activities or traditional performances. People use this colorful traditional costume to paint bright colors for the happy atmosphere.

In Hamburg, a port city in northern Germany, people like a urinal, which has become a prominent feature of Hamburg people's clothing. Former German Chancellor Helmut? Schmidt is a Hamburg native. He often wears a Hamburg urinal on his head, so that this urinal has become a prominent feature of the German Chancellor.

In Germany, men generally like to grow cheeks and beards, and there are various styles. People often trim and comb their beards according to their face, hairstyle and beard density, and show their unique demeanor and temperament through different styles of beards.
